Abstract

We prove that if a time-periodic Tonelli Lagrangian on a closed manifold MM satisfies a strong version of the Differentiability Problem for Mather's β\beta-function, then the Legendre transforms of rational homology classes are dense in the first cohomology of MM, which is a first step towards Ma\~n\'e's conjecture.
